A heavy, blocky serif with pronounced slab terminals and a compact, tightly held silhouette. Strokes show clear but controlled contrast, with thick verticals and slightly lighter joins and curves, creating a crisp rhythm at display sizes. The serifs are bold and mostly squared with subtle bracketing, giving corners a firm, machined feel rather than a delicate finish. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend to be narrow, reinforcing a dense, punchy color on the page.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where maximum impact is needed. It also works well for branding and packaging that benefits from a strong, durable voice, and for sports or team-style applications where bold, slabbed letterforms help maintain legibility and presence.
The overall tone is confident and no-nonsense, with an industrial sturdiness that reads as classic and slightly retro. Its strong slabs and compact forms suggest authority and durability, while the restrained contrast keeps it feeling practical rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a dense, high-impact serif texture that stays readable under heavy weight. By combining sturdy slab terminals with moderate contrast and compact proportions, it aims to project authority and clarity in display-oriented settings.
Uppercase shapes are broad and stable with substantial horizontal caps, and the lowercase maintains a solid, workmanlike texture with sturdy bowls and robust terminals. Numerals match the weight and presence of the letters, producing a consistent, billboard-ready line when mixed with text.
